⚠ Updating to this version will make your old data inaccessible. If you want to keep your old links, rename the old app ⚠

Beta 0.4.0 brings Firebase to Later, so you can now sync data across devices and know that it is safely stored in the cloud. Note that this release may not be completely stable. Your data may not be safe! You have been warned

New Features and Changes

Your data is now synced to the cloud!

• Later now uses Firebase to store data
• Links and folders are synced and can be accessed on any mac with Later installed
• This update also introduces accounts, which are required to use the app - sorry to anyone who preferred an account-free app

    • 0.10 is the default

Misc

• Updated open source licenses

Known issues

• Favicons are inconsistent in loading
• Adding and removing favourites requires a re-sorting of the list, causing lag issues
• Some login animations are broken

Bug fixes

• Yeah, I think this release only created bugs...

Feature? Packed. Bugs? Fixed. Release date? 😐

New Features

Sorting

You can now sort your links by name, date created, or url. Sort results are used in the general display view as well as in search.

Folder customization

Folders now support custom colours and icons

Icons

You can now choose an icon when creating a folder. This icon will be displayed in the sidebar

• A selection of 8 icons are available. I am willing to change these if people would prefer other icons
• The plain folder is still the default

Colours

You can now choose a colour when creating a folder and later edit it from the sidebar

• This is done with the default macOS colour picker, which I am not a huge fan of
• Expect it to be changed in future updates

  • Instantly delete folders or links
